You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Our family recently suffered a tremendous loss as we had to say goodbye to my father. Robert Toale & Sons Celebration Of Life Center exceeded every one of our expectations! They were sympathetic and kind and went the extra mile to ensure my father's service was perfect. We were amazed, at the attention to detail they provided in creating a Celebration of Life that painted a picture of exactly who my father was, and displayed items of what he loved the most. If I could give them 100 stars, I would do so without hesitation!!”
— Krista Pondillo
“We chose the Lakewood Ranch Center for the Celebration of Life service for our Sister/Mom, Tonya. The staff was so helpful with every detail to help us truly make the day one that was uplifting and celebrated the joy she brought to all our lives. The day was so very beautiful in every way. Kristyn guided us and helped us with every little detail.”
